Man, pressing play on this album was a surprise. The group originally consisted of Bushwick Bill, DJ Ready Red, Sire Jukebox and Prince Johnny C under the name 'Ghetto Boys' before Scarface and Willie D were brought in and the 'h' was dropped. This just sounds like an attempt to make a Run-D.M.C. album with slightly more gangsta themes. There are some really poor moments with nothing to go back to. Best Tracks: Making Trouble, Why Do We Live This Way

Is Treach the best rapper to never drop a solo project? I'll leave that question with you. This leaked CD was the closest we got to not being able to ask that question, but for whatever reason it never officially dropped. After the enjoyable opener, it begins slowly but from track 7 the success rate is fairly high.

This is a DJ-mix of some of Game's songs from his album, 'Doctor's Advocate', along with freestyles over great well-known production and other great non-album cuts. It goes hard from top to bottom.

Nothing here surprises too much, be it the production or the content, with some conscious themes about race, gangsta rap, sex and horrorcore - It's the Geto Boys after all. There's no fast skip (with 'This Dick's for You' being the closest thing to that) or anything at the other end of the scale that is amazing either. 'Bring It On' is dope but I'm not sure it needed to be quite so long at 8 minutes. There are some familiar samples like on 'No Nuts, No Glory' with Millie Jackson's 'I Cry' that has been used to help create better songs. 'Cereal Killer' is worth mentioning as it sounds perhaps like a hardcore take on LL's 'Milky Cereal' where Scarface tells a murderous tale, with the victims being portrayed as cereal mascots/names of cereals. All in all, this is a good album hovering around a 3.5 out of 5. 'Crooked Officer' has a catchy hook, but a number of these don't. The best moments aren't high enough for me to push this to a 4 either. I wonder if the Rap-A-Lot artists wanted these boring J Prince intros and outros on their album...

Again from a No Limit Records release, the production isn't groundbreaking. For a '97 album, some of it sounds quite dated and almost like it has '80s hip hop influences. The opener is okay with very No Limit-esque production. You hardly hear Mia on it with C-Murder, Master P, Mystikal and Silkk The Shocker featured and Mia not on the chorus either. Master Ps "Ughhhhhs" on 'The Party Don't Stop' are as annoying as selfish dog owners. The song is better than 'You Don't Wanna Go to War' but Master P's adlibs ruin it. We hear more of Mia X on 'I Pitty U' being 100% her. The production is more melancholic and works well. From there, I can see listeners thinking the best track was lots of different songs here. As Mystikal always did, he kills features with his additional energy making 'Let's Get It Straight' my pick. Mystikal over hard production can't lose. Elsewhere, 'Hoodlum Poetry' is worth mentioning with Mia rapping/reading poetry for 5 minutes straight. The final quarter of the album is more sentimental/introspective and less gangsta including a song about Mia's late sister, 'RIP Jill'. Like most No Limit albums that I've checked out, the rapping is likeable, but isn't the best of the best, minus some Mystikal features, and there isn't enough if any great moments. A light 3 out of 5. Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: I Pitty U, I'll Take Ya Man '97, Let's Get It Straight, Mama's Family, I Don't Know Why, Hoodlum Poetry
